I teach video production at a local high school. Our main editing machines are Windows XP using the Adobe Digital Video Suite. At home I use a Macintosh G4 (733 Digital Audio upgraded to PowerLogix Dual 1.2 GHZ). Currently, to grade my students projects I spend lots of extra hours at the school. I can't just pick up a stack of papers to head home and grade them while eating popcorn and watching TV like some other teachers can and do.
First Question:
Does anyone know if an Adobe Premiere project created on a PC will open on a Mac and vice versa?
The answer to the above is yes. Now I just need to work on number two, which probably isn't in the correct forum at this point.
IF the answer is yes, then, second question:
How am I supposed to get the projects from school to read at home?
I've tried bringing projects home on a firewire hard drive formatted as both FAT32 and NTFS. OS X didn't want to recognize either format and asked me if I'd like to format the disk. I know that there are some disk utilities out there that would allow me to read a Mac disk on the computers at school, I just can't think of their names right now.
Any comments would be appreciated and would likely help keep me from blemishing my household with a Windows PC.
